 Mozilla install problem Hi, you'll have to forgive me as i've only been using linux for about 2 hours. I have just installed Kubuntu on my laptop and have realised that it doesn't come with firefox or mozilla, because of this i decided to install it myself, anyway, i have tried running the installer from the terminal and it gives me the following... andrew@laptop:~/programs/mozilla/mozilla-installer$ ./mozilla-installer ../mozilla-installer-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory andrew@laptop:~/programs/mozilla/mozilla-installer$ What am i doing wrong, is there anything missing? Please please help, i really need to get this sorted. Thanks Andrew      |

I do not know which kobuntu but there is probably some way to install/search packages that are on your cd. Just search for gtk and look which version it is and if it is installed. Ok I just looked it up on there website the software to install packages is called adept you can there look for the package make shure it is version 1.2 or newer. And after that it should work. |

You don't need to use the mozilla installer, since there's a .deb package included with (k)ubuntu. It shouldn't be necessary to install GTK separately. Your KDE start menu should include an entry (perhaps under the System submenu) for the Synaptic package manager. Open it, and see if you can find Mozilla and Firefox. If not, you'll need to add the repositories for "universe" and/or "multiverse" in Synaptic's options. It should then be a simple matter of selecting the software you want in order to install it with all its dependencies.
